What is your favourite Coltrane album ?


I would like to have one or two of his record albums. Recording quality is important too, of course. And what are the best pressings, original American, Japanese pro, something else?
I am familiar with his sound but not well enough.

Which Coltrane? I am not sure. I like his saxs. It's like Miles - I may not like much paticular track or album but I always like his trumpet. I know Favourite Things.
Let's see, at least three to begin with - Blue Train, Giant Steps and Love Supreme.
Thank you all. A lot to check out.
Orpheus10, thank you, I liked that. But it's quite different from Coltrane, though I understand that he both influenced many and was influenced by various music and traditions.
Miles Davis is my favourite jazz musician period.
I don't quite consider John McLaughlin a jazz musician, though in many ways he is by discipline. He can't really be categorized. He used to say that his strongest influences were by Miles Davis and John Coltrane. But also, of course, Indian and Spanish flamenco music. American blues too.
